Package: bash
Version: 3.1-2
Severity: normal
When I try to complete, for example "fi" to "file " by hitting tab, I don't see
"file 1" and "file 2" as options, I see "1", "2" and
"file" as separate options:
$ mkdir /tmp/dir
$ cd /tmp/dir
$ touch 'file 1' 'file 2' 'file 3'
$ bzip2 fi<TAB><TAB>
1 2 3 file
I compared this with the behaviour for "gzip", but gzip was fine, because the
gzip completion code specifies a different IFS value. The
following patch makes bzip2 complete as well as gzip does:

However, neither works well if the file names contain tabs.
